APTNSW letter to Minister about obtaining gold Opal cards

posted Thursday 13 August 2015

Action for Public Transport has written to the NSW Minister for Transport, Hon. Andrew Constance MP:

We refer to the recent announcement that paper Pensioner Excursion tickets will not be sold after 31 December 2015.

We would suggest that gold Opal tickets should be made available over-the-counter subject to proof of eligibility from at least some retailers from that date. We would suggest CBD and some other key railway stations including airport stations. This would be convenient to senior visitors from outside Sydney who wish to use public transport while in town.
